How to Recover Lost Text Messages from Android Smartphone

There is a big change to delete text messages accidently when playing with your touch-based Android smartphone. I lost 30+ important text messages of my business partners due to the 'help' of my little baby girl. She has no clue about this and the deletion just happened seamlessly without any notice. The text messages are so important for my business that I have to get them back immediately.

I downloaded and tried several data recovery tools which are recommended by my friends or colleagues. Unfortunately, none of the tools mentioned are able to recover Android text messages at the time I digged into. I had no choice and like usual, I turned to Google for further assistance, which does give me a great help to solve the problem.
